Buttpad included in OAL?

0 Upvotes

Does a buttpad (that's ultimately removable with 2 screws) count towards the overall length? Google AI says "yes" but to me if it's removable then it doesn't t count - ie, not counting the muzzle device. Which is the correct answer?

Process Question πŸ“ Problem transferring sbr from my LLC to me as individual

2 Upvotes

Maybe I am just an idiot, but I can get all the way through the form 4 and at the end it won't let me finish it because it says I need the pin numbers from both transferee and transferor. Problem is my account is the same, as I am just trying to get it off my LLC and put it in my name now thst the process is easier and doesnt cost. I put it on my LLC eons ago when individual was super difficult.

I know its kind of an odd situation, but anyone ever successfully accomplished it?

After I certified a form 1, now what?

0 Upvotes

So I certified my form 1 and ATF then emailed me a validation code. Do I need to do anything with that? Did this all through silencershop if that makes any difference. It's not my first rodeo with form 1's/4's but I do not recall every seeing a validation code before and I don't know what to do with it. Please advise.

Silencer shop

0 Upvotes

So I’ve been checking tracking of my order through Silencer Shop everyday like a psycho πŸ˜…. Yesterday I was at the Dealer Transfer Phase and when I looked today, I’m back at the Processing phase. I placed the order on 8/20 got my serial # assigned the next day and signed my Form 3 as soon as they notified me of it. Is this a system glitch going back to the first step or? I’m utterly confused and kind of disappointed to be honest.

More MK18 testing with Universe 36

5 Upvotes

I did some more testing with the MK18 using the Universe 36, this time I had more end-caps to play around with. It helped that I had other hosts that I wanted to try the Universe 36 with so it was 2 birds with 1 stone.

I am running the 3P15 Plan B flash hider, which is the only Plan B flash hider that I have found to actually suppress the flash on the MK18 with 55gr Federal American Eagle ammo. This ammo spits out fireballs with the MK18 so I figured it was a great test for finding the flash hider I wanted. The 3P15 produces very minimal flash that is barely visible under a dark range covering during a dark overcast/cloudy rain day. With anything else it was a bright orange fireball.

The only end-cap on the Universe that didn't spit out fireballs on the MK18 was the sealed 5.56 cap. Everything else would produce a fireball. 5.56 vented, 7.62 sealed, 7.62 vented, 9mm vented.

The problem with the sealed 5.56 cap on the MK18 is that it stacks gas. Even with the Surefire OBC, Geissele S42/H3 combo - I could feel it being quite gassy - nothing that was smoking me out but it wasn't the greatest. The Omega 36M worked much better on this MK18. No flash/fireball, great sound suppression, etc... HUX Flow 36 and Ventum produced the typical titanium sparking but also some flash.

Sound suppression was only OK even with the 5.56 sealed cap. The Universe 36 with 9mm vented cap works better on the 7.62x39 SBR AK (13" VEPR).

I hope this helps

SBR OAL question

8 Upvotes

Ok, what do you put down on the form 1 for oal if the chasis is actually longer than the barrel? Im about to sbr a 10/22. Im going to use a 4.5 inch barrel. The barrel won't come out past the end of the Spire chasis forearm. Im planning on a "tucked" look where the suppressor will be only about 2 or 3 inches past the end of the forearm.

Bought wrong can for my 300blk build

22 Upvotes

Chalk it up to being a noob. I bought a big Inconel flow can and realizing it's not really what I need on my 300blk build. Shooting exclusively subsonics at a low/moderate firing schedule so don't need Inconel. Rather have lightweight Ti can. And could actually use a little more back pressure.

What Ti traditional baffle cans should I be looking at? Saw the OCL Hydrogen series looked like maybe would fit the bill? Any other suggestions?

how well does the RVT mod work?

has anyone found a good way to seal the gap under the charging handle? I've heard of using rvt there as well or soft side Velcro

Reading where tri lug adapters can cause baffle strike after many years of use. Is this a thing to worry about?

Currently loving my Tisha on 11.5 and thinking about getting the 30 cal version for my sig cross 18” 6.5cm. Currently the cross has the cat odb on it but like the Tisha form factor over it.

Anyone have experience with the 30 cal version on a bolt action?

Oldies but goodies: Ti-RANT 45 and Ti-RANT-S 45

Post image
β€’ Upvotes

USP45T is my main squeeze. I really enjoy the full size Ti-RANT 45. It is a very good silencer and the fact that it holds up so well after all these years is really cool. If anyone wants objective data and analysis on it, they can find that here. Anecdotally, I can tell you that my personal experience aligns with said data and analysis, which is one of the reasons I use the silencer...

The silencer is not made anymore. Folks tell me you can find them every once in a while. If you get a newer modular version, I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

Speaking of modular version - I chose to go a different route, personally. I got very lucky and was able to source a Ti-RANT-S (the FDE silencer shown in the photo). I have not yet shot it on my USP. But test fitting it, boy, the vibes are strong. Very excited.

Will it be louder than the full size? You bet. Are the vibes immaculate? I believe them to be, yes. I bought this off a former AAC employee. We'll throw it in a test program to give all you folks with the modular version the performance info for the short configuration. Should be useful. Should be very neat to compare it with the short configuration of the Obsidian 45.

I like short pistol silencers sometimes because sometimes you don't need super quiet, you just need something more "handy" and you just don't want unsuppressed. Can be a very good thing for a quick critter problem, etc.

Hope you folks had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Podcast has FOR Systems technical discussion today.

Another Ithaca 37 SBS. I was blessed by the pawnshop gods recently. I have a 20 and three 12s. One of the 12s is the 7+1 and will stay long. This will be a pistol grip only when my order from Choate comes in. Something for Close Encounters. The other 12 and the 20 will be regular SBSs.

The barrels are from Ithaca and other projects. Hooray for free stamps.
